Stephanie Seymour was born in San Diego, California. From her early teens it became obvious that the towering, stunningly beautiful young woman was ideal modeling material, and she immediately began getting some local print work. Having entered a modeling contest sponsored by Elite, Seymour caught John Casablancas's eye and moved to New York to work for him at Elite as a model, eventually carrying on a relationship with Casablancas as well, who left his wife to live with the youthful Seymour.
She had great success, including the beginning of a long relationship with Victoria's Secret and work on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues, but it was not the truly spectacular success Seymour sought, so she posed for a spread in Playboy Magazine in 1991 (it would be the first of several). Sure enough, this served as an accelerant to her career, and soon she had achieved the status of supermodel, appearing as well in several music videos, which further increased her status.
